President Bola Tinubu on Monday urged the newly appointed ministers to collaborate with him and each other to fulfill the aspirations of the Nigerian people through their work in government.
The president gave the charge during the inauguration of the 45 confirmed ministers-designate held at the Conference Centre of the State House, Abuja.
He said, “We are in this boat, even if it is a vehicle, and I am the driver, the entire Nigerians are behind sitting and watching as you and I navigate this vehicle. We must hold each other responsible, we have to do the job to meet the expectations of all Nigerians.
“As I said earlier on, you are not a minister of a particular state, colony, region, or ethnic nationality, you are a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
He also reminded the newly sworn Ministers that it is a high honour to be chosen to serve as a minister in the Federal Executive Council, and also charged them with teamwork.
Tinubu noted that the greatest number of Nigerians are expectant of their delivery, accountability, and transparency and as well expect them to work with integrity, dignity, and deliver.
“With the inauguration of Ministers today, we are about to accelerate our governing efforts to move forward in realizing our best aspiration for Nigeria. It’s all about a great team, and I believe we have them here. It is a high honour to be chosen to serve as a minister in the federal executive council of our beloved republic.
